It is basically a crime/politics drama set in Baltimore. Written by David Simon an ex-police reporter from Baltimore. It covers the workings of police, drug dealers, politicians, the declining labor unions, schools and news media. A very realistic light shining on all aspects of the workings of a typical American city.

It starts slow in season 1 but toward the end of season 1 and the rest of the episodes season 2 through 5 are just brilliant.

My next binge watch on Amazon is going to be the Sopranos.
